11. FTA Project Justification Rating Assessment
Both build alternatives in general scored poorly against criteria
BRT more cost-effective than rail
Lack of development density and transit-oriented development results in poor land use score
Local financial commitment currently not in place to result in a medium to high rating
Conclusion: Neither alternative would achieve high enough rating to be competitive for federal funding.

12. Conclusion: Develop an Implementation Strategy
Where do We Go from Here?
Provide officials with road map on where we need to go to implement an enhanced transit system
Need to identify strategies and tools that we can start to put in place now
Conclusion: Develop an Implementation Strategy

13. Potential Implementation Strategy

14. Two-Component Strategy
Progressive transit service and facility improvements
Strategies and policies to foster transit-oriented development

15. Transit Improvement Strategy
ID strategy for added local transit O&M revenues
Implement bus service improvements related to new revenue sources
Integrate transit priority and stop improvements into roadway improvements
Develop new transit centers and initial park-n-rides 1 2 3 4
Potential rail extension toward Daytona Beach
Evaluate preservation of ROW for future premium transit corridor(s)
Potential BRT service in the US 92 and/or US 17/92 corridors, with added feeder bus connections improvements 7 6 5

16. Land Development Strategies1 2 3 4 5
Growth management and land conservation policies focusing on development density and market trends supportive of transit
Develop conceptual plans for designated BRT and rail transit station areas
Implement zoning changes that support major transit investment in transit station areas
Implement strategies to promote transit-supportive planning and station area development
Develop affordable housing plans along transit corridors

17. Transit and Density Relationship
Population and employment densities affect the viability of transit mode
Higher population densities and/or employment centers help justify premium rail options
Higher densities help justify greater transit service levels

18. Mode Applicability Based on Densities in Study Area
Effects of population and employment
Highest-order mode to support future development density (year 2040)
Primarily support local bus options
Potential BRT/LRT options along ISB
